What does the Bible say about the fulfillment of the law?

Answered in 5 sources

The Bible teaches that Christ came not to destroy the law but to fulfill it, ensuring its perfect righteousness is realized in believers.

In Matthew 5:17-18, Jesus makes it clear that He did not come to abolish the law or the prophets, but to fulfill them. This means that all the righteousness portrayed in the law will come to pass through Christ's obedience. The law, being holy, just, and good, serves a critical purpose, and without it, grace cannot be fully understood. Christ's fulfillment of the law demonstrates both God's justice and mercy, reconciling believers to Himself.
